Here we have my collection of Pentel Clicrollers. I have always liked these pens and they all write well but Pentel no longer makes the refills. Most are from the 80s and early 90s. On the left is the cheapest of the bunch the RC5, next is the navy blue RC16, and the chrome and black RC20. Then we have three RC26s, two in black and one in white. The Olympic RC30 is next and three black and gold RC36s. They all use the metal CFL6 refill or the plastic CFL51 refill. You can still find them on EBay. There may be more models out there so we will continue to look. Add them all to your collection.
I have added "The best songs from the 50s and early 60s" and moved "Top Five Pens" and "Top Five Scripto Pencils" to the bottom of the blog. I will update as we go along.
I have two of the above pens with many more that are just memories now. Where does one find refills for them or is there a reasonable substitute?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question. I did find 5 old refills CFL 6 on ebay, but I would also like to know if there is a substitute.
DeleteCross makes a slim gel 8910-1 refill that works for me.
DeleteI do not think so. The CFL6 is the only refill I know of and it is not made anymore. Checking it seems all of the ones I have are dry.
ReplyDeleteI love my RC36. It's been well used.
ReplyDeleteTo bad no more refills. Pentel told me that they are not making anymore.
ReplyDeleteI have the RC26 in black/red and a pen/pencil set in the RC16 (black/chrome) ...have had them since the mid 80s. Thankfully, I still have a box of black refills!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the lucky ones. I have zero refills and Pentel does not make them anymore.

ReplyDeleteI have several RC20's in my desk and can't use. What a shame. Was a great pen.
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye open on EBay. They still sell them.
ReplyDeleteJust picked up a brand new rc5 with refill cartridge sealed in factory foil wrap and also a pentel gift box set still in wrapper (xgold-4)and a pocket brush GFKP with fp10 cartridges in sealed wrapper.
ReplyDeleteanybody have luck adapting other refills? I have 3 mint clicrollers with 1 refill.
ReplyDeleteI buy my refills on ebay.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 RC 20 in lite blue and a few sealed refills. Most of what you find on Ebay are red.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 maybe 3 boxes of the CFL6 refills available if anyone is interested. Joshbowl81@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIs there a cross reference for the Clicroller CFL6 ink pen?
